Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool"
in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVETHESEINSTRUCTIONS
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC
power supply. While the tool may appear to
work, the electrical components of the AC
rated tool are likely to fail and create a
hazard to the operator.
If operating the power tool in damp
locations is unavoidable a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) must be used to
supply the power to your tool. GFCI and
personal protection devices like electrician's
rubber gloves and footwear will further
enhance your personal safety.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before
plugging in. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or plugging in power
tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.
-2-

Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tools operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended
for the particular type of power tool,
taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
Use battery tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other
small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery, avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
Ensure the switch is in the off position
before inserting battery pack. Inserting the
battery pack into power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be
careful not to disassemble any portion of
the tool since internal wires may be
misplaced or pinched or safety guard
return springs may be improperly
mounted. Certain cleaning agents such as
gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc.
may damage plastic parts.
SAVETHESEINSTRUCTIONS
-3-

Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the
operator. Do not drill, fasten or break into
existing walls or other blind areas where
electrical wiring may exist. If this situation is
unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit
breakers feeding this worksite.
Disconnect battery pack from tool or
place the switch in the locked or off
position before making any assembly,
adjustments or changing accessories.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Never leave the trigger locked "ON".
Before inserting the battery pack, check
that the trigger lock is "OFF". Accidental
start-ups could cause injury.
Keep hands away from cutting area. Do
not reach under the material being cut.
The proximity of the blade to your hand is
hidden from your sight.
Keep hands from between the gear
housing and saw blade holder. The
reciprocating blade holder can pinch your
fingers.
Do not use dull or damaged blades. Bent
blade can break easily or cause kickback.
Before starting to cut, turn tool "ON" and
allow the blade to come to full speed.
Tool can chatter or vibrate if blade speed is
too slow at beginning of cut and possibly
kickback.
Secure material before cutting. Never
hold it in your hand or across legs. Small
or thin material may flex or vibrate with the
blade, causing loss of control.
Make certain all adjusting screws and the
blade holder are tight before making a
cut. Loose adjusting screws and holders
can cause the tool or blade to slip and loss of
control may result.
When removing the blade from the tool
avoid contact with skin and use proper
protective gloves when grasping the
blade or accessory. Accessories may be
hot after prolonged use.
I__lSome dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Battery/Charger
Before using battery charger, read all
instructions and cautionary markings on
(1) battery charger, (2) battery pack, and
(3) product using battery.
Use only the charger which accompanied
your product or direct replacement as
listed in the catalog or this manual. Do not
substitute any other charger. Use only Bosch
approved chargers with your product. See
Functional Description and Specifications.
Do not disassemble charger or operate the
charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped or otherwise damaged in
any way. Replace damaged cord or plugs
immediately. Incorrect reassembly or
damage may result in electric shock or fire.
Do not recharge battery in damp or wet
environment. Do not expose charger to
rain or snow. If battery case is cracked or
otherwise damaged, do not insert into
charger. Battery short or fire may result.
Charge only Bosch approved rechargeable
batteries. See Functional Description and
Specifications. Other types of batteries may
burst causing personal injury and damage.
-4-

Charge battery pack in temperatures
above +40 degrees F (4 degrees C) and
below +105 degrees F (41 degrees C).
Store tool and battery pack in locations
where temperatures will not exceed 120
degrees F (49 degrees C). This is important
to prevent serious damage to the battery
cells.
Battery leakage may occur under extreme
usage or temperature conditions. Avoid
contact with skin and eyes. The battery
liquid is caustic and could cause chemical
burns to tissues. If liquid comes in contact
with skin, wash quickly with soap and water,
then with lemon juice or vinegar. If the liquid
contacts your eyes, flush them with water for
a minimum of 10 minutes and seek medical
attention.
Place charger on flat non-flammable
surfaces and away from flammable
materials when re-charging battery pack.
The charger and battery pack heat during
charging. Carpeting and other heat insulating
surfaces block proper air circulation which
may cause overheating of the charger and
battery pack. If smoke or melting of the case
are observed unplug the charger immediately
and do not use the battery pack or charger.
Use of an attachment not recom-
mended or sold by Bosch may result in a
risk of fire, electric shock or injury to
persons.
Battery
When batteries are not in
tool or charger, keep them
away from metal objects. For example, to
protect terminals from shorting DO NOT place
batteries in a tool box or pocket with nails,
screws, keys, etc. Fire or injury may result.
Care
To prevent fire or injury
when batteries are not in
tool or charger, always place protective
cap onto end of battery pack. Protective
cap, guards against terminal shorting.
DO NOT PUT BATTERIES INTO FIRE OR
EXPOSE TO HIGH HEAT. They may
explode.
Battery Disposal
Do not attempt to disas-
semble the battery or
remove any component projecting from
the battery terminals. Fire or injury may
result. Prior to disposal, protect exposed
terminals with heavy insulating tape to
prevent shorting.
NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERIES
If equipped with a nickel-cadmium battery, the
battery must be collected, recycled or
disposed of in an environmentally sound
manner.
"The EPA certified RBRC
Battery Recycling Seal on the
nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd)

BLADE INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
This jigsaw is equipped with the Bosch "Clic"
tooless blade changing system. This system
makes changing blades simple and fast.
Insert the saw blade (teeth in cutting
direction) until it latches in the plunger. When
inserting the saw blade, the back of the blade
must rest in the groove of the guide roller
(Fig. 2).
Note: If the saw blade cannot be inserting
into the plunger, the slots of the blade holder
are not positioned as shown, push the blade
ejector lever briefly to the front and release.
To change the saw blade, push the ejector
lever to the center stop; this releases the saw
blade and it is ejected.
When changing the blade, tool should be
held so that the blade is safely ejected.

BLADE ORBIT SELECTOR LEVER
Maximum cutting efficiency can be obtained
by adjusting the blade orbit selector lever to
suit the material being cut.
The following chart will help you determine
which setting to use for your application. This
chart is intended as a guideline only, and test
cuts in scrap material should be performed
first to determine the best setting.
I_i[_l
Setting O
Hard materials such as
metals or thin sheet metals.
This setting can be used with
knife blades, grit edge
blades, rasp work. and down
cutting blades.
Setting 1
Soft materials where cleaner
cutting or delicate scrolling
work is performed.
Setting 2
Medium density materials
such as harder woods or
particle board.
Setting 3
Soft materials such as wood,
plastics, etc. and when fast
cutting is more important
than a clean cut
CHIP BLOWER
Your is equipped with a two position chip
blower to help keep the cutting line clear of
chips.
By adjusting the chip blower lever the force
of the discharge air may be altered as
follows;
BLOWER SWITCHED ON
For working with wood, plastic
and similar materials that
produce large amounts of
sawdust.
BLOWER SWITCHED OFF
For working with metals and
when cooling agents are used.
FOOTPLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
The footplate may be tilted to allow angle
cuts up to 45-0in either direction.
To adjust footplate, loosen screw with allen
wrench provided, slide the footplate slightly
forward towards the front of tool, then rotate
to desired angle. The detent slots will hold
the footplate firmly at 45 -0, and there are
additional position marks for 15 -°and 30 g
angles. Intermediate angles may be set with
a protractor. After positioning the footplate
securely tighten screw (Fig. 4).
FOOTPLATE
SCREW
FLUSH CUTTING
To allow the saw to make a perpendicular cut
close to a vertical surface, the footplate may
be repositioned as follows.
Loosen screw, move the footplate back in the
0-°alignment slot, and securely tighten screw.
Note that when the footplate is retracted in
this manner, only 90-°cuts are possible, and
the optional cutting guide and anti-splinter
insert guide may not be used.
TOOL TIPS
Always be certain that smaller workpieces
are securely fastened to a bench or other
support. Larger panels may be held in place
by clamps on a bench or sawhorses.
To begin a cut, clearly mark the cutting line,
and rest the front of the footplate on the
work. Engage the switch, and move the
blade into the work using only enough
forward pressure to keep the blade cutting
steadily. Do not force, as this will not make
the saw cut faster; let the blade do the work.
Choose blades carefully, as the ability of the
jigsaw to follow curves, provide smother
finishes, or faster cutting is directly related to
the type of blade used.
PLUNGE CUTTING
Plunge cutting is useful and time-saving in
making rough openings in softer materials. It
is not necessary to drill a hole for an inside or
pocket cut. Draw lines for the opening, hold
the saw firmly, tilt it forward so that the toe of
-9-

the saw foot rests on the work, but with the
blade well clear of the work. Start the motor,
and then very gradually lower the blade.
When it touches, continue pressing down on
the toe of the saw foot slowly pivoting the saw
like a hinge until the blade cuts through and
the foot rests flat on the work. Then saw
ahead on the line of cut line. We do not
recommend plunge cutting with a scroll blade
(Fig. 5).
To make sharp corners, cut up to the corner,
then back up slightly before rounding the
corner. After the opening is complete, go back
to each corner and cut it from the opposite
direction to square it off. Do not try to plunge
cut into hard materials such as steel.
CIRCLE AND PARALLEL CUTTING GUIDE
This accessory is available at an extra cost. It
is used for fast and accurate straight and
circle cutting (Fig. 6).
ATTACHING GUIDE
1. Insert bar of guide through lock knob clamp,
then through the slots provided in foot, from
either side of foot with the edge guide facing
down (Fig. 6).

2. Hook lock knob clamp onto edge of
footplate, adjust fence to desired width, and
securely tighten lock knob clamp.
CIRCLE CUTTING
1. Before attaching the guide, draw a circle
and predrill a 13/64" center hole in workpiece.
2. Drill or plunge cut near the circles edge,
turn saw off and move the switch lock to the
lock position.
3. Attach guide to saw with edge guide facing
UP as shown (Fig. 7).
4. Remove guide pin from end of guide, push

5. Measure the distance from the selected
hole to the blade to be equal to the circle
radius.
6. Move switch lock to the unlock position,
hold the saw firmly, squeeze trigger and
slowly push the saw forward. To make a hole,
cut from inside the circle; To make wheels or
discs, cut from the outside.
Cutting Tip: Cut slowly so the blade will stay
straight in the cut. Place small wedges in the
cut as shown in Fig. 7, to keep the inner circle
from spreading when near the end of the cut.

RELEASING AND INSERTING BATTERY PACK
Release battery pack from tool by pressing
on both sides of the battery release tabs and
pull downwards. Before inserting battery
pack, remove protective cap from battery
pack. To insert battery, align battery and slide
battery pack into tool until it locks into
position. Do not force.
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. The battery pack accepts only about 80%
of its maximum capacity with its first few
charge cycles. However, after the first few
charge cycles, the battery will charge to full
capacity.
2. The charger was designed to fast charge
the battery only when the battery
temperature is between 40°F (4°C) and
105°F (41°C).
3. A substantial drop in operating time per
charge may mean that the battery pack is
nearing the end of its life and should be
replaced.
4. If you anticipate long periods (i.e. a month
or more) of non-use of your tool, it is best to
run your tool down until it is fully discharged
before storing your battery pack. After a long
period of storage, the capacity at first recharge
will be lower. Normal capacity will be restored
in two or three charge/discharge cycles.
Remember to unplug charger during storage
period.
5. If battery does not charge properly:
a. Check for voltage at outlet by plugging
in some other electrical device.
b. Check to see if outlet is connected to a
light switch which turns power "off" when
lights are turned off.
c. Check battery pack terminals for dirt.
Clean with cotton swab and alcohol if
necessary.
d. If you still do not get proper charging,
take or send tool, battery pack and charger
to your local Bosch Service Center. See
"Tools, Electric" in the Yellow Pages for
names and addresses.
Note: Use of charger's or battery packs not
sold by Bosch will void the warranty.

Service
NO USER SERVICE-ABLE
PARTS INSIDE. Preventive
maintenance performed by unauthorized
personnel may result in misplacing of
internal wires and components which
could cause serious hazard. We recom-
mend that all tool service be performed by a
Bosch Factory Service Center or Authorized
Bosch Service Station. SERVICEMEN:
Disconnect tool and/or charger from power
source before servicing.
BATTERIES
Be alert for battery packs that are nearing
their end of life. If you notice decreased
tool performance or significantly shorter
running time between charges then it is time
to replace the battery pack. Failure to do so
can cause the tool to operate improperly or
damage the charger.
Long term battery storage should be in
the discharged state. Battery packs last
longer and re-charge better when they are
stored discharged. Remember to fully re-
charge battery packs before using after
prolonged storage.
TOOL LUBRICATION
Your Bosch tool has been properly lubricated
and is ready for use.
D.C. MOTORS
The motor in your tool has been engineered
for many hours of dependable service. To
maintain peak efficiency of the motor, we
recommend it be examined every six
months. Only a genuine Bosch replacement
motor specially designed for your tool should
be used.
Cleaning
To avoid accidents, always
disconnect the tool and/or
charger from the power supply before
cleaning. The tool may be cleaned most
effectively with compressed dry air. Always
wear safety goggles when cleaning tools
with compressed air.
Ventilation openings and switch levers must
be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do
not attempt to clean by inserting pointed
objects through opening.
_Certain cleaning agents
and solvents damage
plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning
solvents, ammonia and household detergents
that contain ammonia.
Accessories
lf an extension cord is
necessary, a cord with
adequate size conductors that is capable
of carrying the current necessary for your
tool must be used. This will prevent
excessive voltage drop, loss of power or
overheating. Grounded tools must use 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong plugs and
receptacles.
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
